General Description

• With this OB we wish to observe the 2 and 4 micron bands of several herbig
   stars. simultaneously with each herbig star we observe a telluric standard (observed
   directly before or after the science target) to correct for the atmosphere of the
   earth. We have given different priorities to each OB (1 for the most crucial). Each
   science target can be observed seperately from the other(but together with the corresponding
   telluric correction target), is very bright and will be used for spectroscopy only.
   Therefore spatial resolution is not our concern. High spectral resolution is however
   very important for us!

Waiver Requests

• none

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• there are no constraints

Time-Critical Aspects

• Each science target should be observed back to back with a telluric standard.
   The telluric standard OB's have the same name as the science targets with the suffix
   'telluric' and the timing of the telluric standards (before or after the science
   target, important for observing with troughly the same airmass) is described in
   the 'calibration requirements' in each OB.

Special Execution Requirements

Special Calibration Information

• The M band magnitude of all the telluric standards has been interpolated
   from the H and K magnitudes following: M = K + 2(K-H)

Do the README file and the instrument comments of the telluric stars
 OBs include the required S/N/pixel of the spectrum of the telluric star, its spectral
 type and allowed spectral range?

• YES

Do any OBs include wavelength or flatfield calibrations?

• NO

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
 files to your OBs?

• N/A

If the slit viewer guide star is different from the target, are the RA
 and DEC offsets accurate to within 0.05 arcsec and do they take into account the
 relative proper motion between the two objects?

• N/A

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first for objects
 at similar RA, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs?

• YES
